Benchmarking

Preliminary data release is available!

If you have completed the required percentage of questions, you may now access reporting. Please note that these results are preliminary, and members can continue entering data through April 30. The overall results may change from day to day, as more members enter data. Final reports will be available in May.

Through ACUI's new benchmarking tool, you can:

Enter information in areas such as facilities, operations, programming, staffing, and financials

Each school’s primary contact is considered the primary data entry contact. The primary contact can designate additional data entry contacts by completing this form. Primary contacts will be asked to indicate which survey(s) each new data entry contact should have access to, since the Salary Survey contains sensitive information.

Once you’ve been designated a data entry contact, log in and then click the Access Tool button. Please note: The tool will open in a new tab, so be sure to allow pop-ups. You’ll see a welcome message with instructions, as well as a link to data worksheets for each survey. You can download and use these Excel worksheets to gather data in advance of entering it into the system.

The tool requires you to complete 70% of the overall questions, as well as 100% of the required questions, to view results.

Preliminary results will be released on March 1, after institutions have sufficient time to enter their data. Starting in May, anyone who has completed the minimum percentage of questions will be able to view comparison reports, utilize filters to drill down reports to the comparisons you need, and download presentation-ready reports for your own use. The full results will then be available beginning May 1.

You can email benchmarking@acui.org with any questions. Additionally, an ACUI Benchmarking Help Desk will be available at the Annual Conference, where you can view demonstrations and get one-on-one help with entering data, designating data entry contacts, and downloading reports.
